Duty finder lockout for not pressing ready, is this new?

[harriaal]

Or was this from the beginning? Its slighly annoying as DPS to wait for an hour and then get locked out after going to the toilet for a minute (since it seems to pop up only when I'm not at the computer :P)

It was in the notes - you get 3 strikes then you're (locked) out.

[harriaal]

is that daily? Or when do the strikes reset?

Daily and resets at 9am PDT.

From 2.4 patch notes

Players who select Withdraw from the Duty Ready confirmation window or allow the window to time out without making a selection three times or more in one day, will be temporarily prohibited from registering for duties via the Duty Finder.
This count will reset every day at 9:00 a.m. (PDT).

Yes. And is a terrible addition to the game.

By terrible you mean amazing. Far less "Player has withdrawn" from CT/ST and certain roulettes. FAR LESS.

[harriaal]

Yeah, but combine it with 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 new dps players, its annoying to be locked after queuing hours.

Not only are trolls punished, but many simple misses over an excessive time of 24 hours as well. So no I most certainly do not mean amazing. I consider it one of the worst implementations SE has done so far.

How long is the lockout?
